A Turning Point in the Climate Debate
"For Republicans, banning imports of Russian oil and doing everything possible to ramp up supply at home are no-brainers. Expect candidates, including some Democrats, to hammer both themes until Biden relents. Yet, conservatives have an opportunity to offer something more ambitious and transformative than 'Drill, Baby, Drill' 2.0. We can reshape the climate debate and redefine what it means to be serious about environmental stewardship for decades to come."

But such vessels are several times more expensive to build and operate than foreign ships, resulting in very high shipping rates. So high, in fact, that after factoring in the cost of Jones Act shipping it can often make more sense to buy products from distant countries rather than other parts of the United States—including petroleum."

Economic freedom, now more than ever
"Just because economic freedom is unfashionable today doesn’t make it ineffective. The human spirit, expressed in individual initiative, remains every bit as much the wellspring of community and global prosperity as it was when the Soviet empire fell. American conservatives, in particular, tempted by the clicks and frisson of ideological novelty, should remember: there is nothing more elitist than central economic planning, and nothing more populist than free markets roiling with hungry competitors and empowered consumers."
